    MG5 Compatible Trans K9 Double Dog Crate - install success!

    That looks like a good fit. Much space behind the cage and the seats? Looks like a bit of useful space on the side for towel and leads?

    MG5 long range heater

    The A/C performs different when your in normal or Eco mode - in Eco the heating is significantly less responsive, and in the summer, not that great in cooling on a warm day. Sad to say but the manual does actually mention that A/C is affected in different driving modes

    Motorway Miles

    I've got a mg5, my daily commute is 135miles, over 100 miles on motorway. I do it in one go without charging, done it since January (so I'm cold weather). Setting off in the temperatures close to or just below zero, I've used around 65~70% at worse case, averaging around 55-57mph over the entire...

    SATNAV .... alternative route options.

    Would use android auto or Apple carplay, with an app like Waze as it gives you detail about live traffic and other hazards also. Much better and up to date maps

    Issues with Gridserve chargers.

    Used gridserve chargers in 8 locations so far (old unit to Braintree and several in-between), some multiple times and never had an issue with it working - not even needing to unplug and starting the handshake process. My mg5 exclusive has not missed a beat with them

    Issues with Gridserve chargers.

    Evening, I've heard previously from gridserve that setting up make and models can be complicated as most manufacturers don't follow exactly the same process. They do however seem to get new vehicles set up fairly quickly from what I've heard with interviews they've had about it (pinch of salt my...

    MG5 ev heavy tyre wear?

    Traction control in mg5 seems to be a bit slow to kick in so I expect when people test drove it and wanted to see what the acceleration was like, probably caused when spin at several points

    Care to share your Valuation?

    Main dealer tried to sell me a new car with part ex mg5 at first service (15.5k miles, 9month old) last week....offered £18k. So expect would be around £20k realistically

    Seeing as traffic only got back to normal in last month and everyone panicking about fuel deliveries.... 5 will start to picked up more and more

    High Miles?

    Just under 15k after 8 months, going for it's first service in 2 weeks.... we'll see if any extras come out of the quoted service cost. Had no issues with the car, just with the home charger scheduled start times not working reliable to start with but resolve if plugged in <4 hours before...

    Yes or no????

    I did over 425 miles in one day driving South coast to past Midlands and back in one day. Unfortunately there wasn't a charger where I stopped gor an few hours so stopped for two short charges on way home. Easily sorted with Zapmap finding one of the way that wasn't too expensive. Even easier...

    Has anyone on here hardwired in a dashcam to the MG5 yet?

    I wired the dashcam to the usb supply in the central console, Infront of the gear selectors. Works well as camera gets power as soon as the car is unlocked, before turning car on. Definitely the easiest way rather than getting into the fuse box
